The Forager

My fiance and I recently moved to the area and this is our new favorite date night spot. Everything we’ve ordered there from the French dip to the walleye has been amazing. I have celiacs and the staff is always super comfortable confidently discussing what contains gluten and what doesn’t. I would love to try their sandwiches tho! An addition of a gf bun option would be much appreciated from a regular :-)

This is such a great space and our food was delicious. I wish I could've taken photos, but the hostess sat us in between the kitchen and the restrooms despite having plenty of prime booths and tables available for a Wednesday evening at 6:30 pm. She seemed either inexperienced, utterly confused or just not happy with her job? My husband and I thought we were put in the "bad kids" corner by ourselves. It also seemed to be this small section of the restaurant where no servers were assigned, but after about 7-10 minutes of various servers walking past our table one finally asked if we had been helped. Our server Kyle was terrific and my burger was cooked to the exact temperature I requested, which was medium-rare. The mushroom mix, white cheddar and garlic aioli truly makes this burger special. I my case knife and fork special since I can't do gluten. My husband's French dip was full of tender roast beef on a perfectly baked baguette. I really wish I could've had their truffle fries (I ❤ truffle fries), but I'm gluten sensitive and their fries are unfortunately the battered type 😔 Luckily I don't have any problems with cross contamination from fryers, but why must establishments serve battered and seasoned fries?!?! I'll digress since I'm a French fry purist. I had a couple glasses of their Sauvignon Blanc while my husband had Moscow mules. They have a full bar, but for some reason they don't have a cocktail menu or maybe the hostess failed to give us one? I think it would've been nice if they offered some signature cocktails. However, I'm thrilled they have a Sauvignon Blanc and a Malbec on their wine menu. Thank you! I would really like to come back, try more of their delicious comfort food and if you find yourself in Howard City would highly recommend (sans the hostess on 8/4/21 @ 6:30).
